This study examines fictional narratives and oral testimonies to provide a multifaceted comprehension of the 1947 Partition of India. Focusing on Saadat Hasan Manto's selected short stories alongside oral testimonies from Anam Zakaria's The Footprints of Partition, the thesis investigates how fictional and factual narratives contest state endorsed accounts of the Partition thus bringing forth a holistic comprehension of what unfolded. This thesis explores how personal and collective narratives are transmitted as well as constructed while drawing various concepts from memory studies, Partition literature and oral testimonies. The thesis through exploring Manto's literary portrayals alongside oral testimonies stresses on the essentially fragmented and polyphonic nature of Partition narratives, as well as on how these voices counter monolithic state narratives and in turn preserve marginalized narratives. This approach focuses on the significance of narrative plurality in understanding the ongoing impact of Partition.
